I wanted to bet to inflate the pot even more

I wanted to check to the pre-flop 3-bettor, but since he is so passive I didn't know if he'd bet on such a scary board

What should I do?

Bet. This pot is so big that nobody is folding even gutshots. Might as well jam the money in while your equity is high.

[SoftcoreRevolt]

Bet you fool! There really isn't anything else to do.

Do you ever play at Lucky Chances or Bay 101?

Yes bet teh damn flop.

[xenthebrain]

just bet here, get the money in. I don't see anyone folding on the flop in a 16SB pot.

[DasThiem]

the pot is already very big, so noone is likely to be scared out by your bet on the flop.

That's what I thought you guys would have done...so I bet, and all folded and have earned a gold spot in my buddy list.

Just making sure no one checks in this spot...
